FST FORUMS

In Simon Stephens’ Heisenberg, Georgie Burns kisses Alex Priest on the back of the neck—an unorthodox way to show that you are interested in or attracted to someone.

What drives Georgie to do this? Is it lust? Attraction? Or something else entirely? Love is one of life’s most perplexing phenomena, but scientists and psychologists have started to glean what drives attraction and romantic love. Recent studies have shown that brain—not physical or emotional—chemistry plays a significant role in relationships.

According to scientists at Rutgers University, romantic love can be placed into one of three categories: lust, attraction, and attachment. When a person experiences any of these, chemicals are released that can increase their libido or silence the area of the brain responsible for logical behavior

and reasoning. This is why people stammer, trip, and get flustered when they are around a person to which they are attracted. Their brains are literally tripping them up!

It also turns out that lust and attraction are closely connected, yet distinct, entities. When a person is attracted to someone, lots of dopamine—the chemical that causes people to feel energized and exhilarated—is released in their brain. Ever heard of the “honeymoon phase” of a relationship? The high levels of dopamine being released in the couple’s brains are partially responsible for that.

Although there are multiple scientific and psychological causes for attraction, it is generally believed that attraction remains highly individualized. The personality and physical traits of someone might be attractive to one person yet undesirable to another.

FST FORUMS

For the past two years, Heisenberg’s success has skyrocketed. Commissioned by Manhattan Theatre Club, the play enjoyed a sold-out run at the company’s Off-Broadway performance space in 2015. The next year Heisenberg transferred to Broadway, bringing the play’s original director and cast with it. Critics found it “quirky, lovely, funny, and powerful” and “one of [2016’s] best” productions. From there, the production moved to Los Angeles, where it spent this past summer at Center Theatre Group.

It is unique for a play to be remounted multiple times across the country and maintain its original cast and creative team. Director Mark Brokaw tried to create the feeling of intimacy, which was vital to the play’s first production, in

each performance space. He wanted it to feel like the characters are “under a microscope,” as if “we [the audience] are sort of on top of them.”

This past October, the play was finally produced in the playwright’s native country of England with a jazzy new title: Heisenberg: The Uncertainty Principle. Two giants of British acting—Anne-Marie Duff and Kenneth Cranham—play Georgie Burns and Alex Priest, respectively. This London production was directed by Marianne Elliot, who was also responsible for directing Simon Stephens’ famed theatrical adaptation of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time.

SEASON UNDERWRITERSso fortunate to have such a professional and creative venue with so many facets. It is a cultural beacon in our community, and with your support, the future of FST will be bright.

GEORGIA COURT I love great theatre and FST delivers that. FST is among the best theatre companies I have seen, but it is more than a theatre company. It is an organization that recognizes it is part of the greater community - and it reaches out to that community in positive, productive ways. Having FST so accessible adds to the joy of living in the fabulous arts community that is Sarasota.

SHIRLEY FEIN My support of FST was immediate. I felt a comfortable intimacy and a grandeur regarding their intellectually stimulating and entertaining performances. I salute FST for having exceptional management, a friendly and caring staff, and performers extraordinaire! It is my sincere pleasure to be a sponsor of the 2017-18 Winter Mainstage Season, full of new and exciting productions for us all to enjoy. See you there!

WENDY & BOB GRADY We were so impressed when we first visited FST, that we immediately wanted to become involved. Whenever you come across a system as unique as FST’s, where the key to getting art into the hearts of so many has been found

GERRI AARON To me, FST is a great theater experience in the respect that I’ve seen plays in New York City and then seen the very same plays here; they are just as good if not better. Richard Hopkins is amazing; he continues to select plays that both confirm and challenge one’s beliefs. FST is a Sarasota treasure that keeps getting better.

GAELE BARTHOLD FST is family and an integral part of my life. Its community contributions are myriad and a model of theatrical excellence. Quality and diverse stage productions at affordable prices are but one component of FST’s offerings. Other contributions include extensive contact with local schools to foster student creativity and theatre appreciation, structured and wide-ranging educational programs for adults and children, community forums and other community outreach programs, and a strong commitment to new play development and excellence in the arts. FST is a gem which well warrants our widespread financial and artistic support.

ED & JUDY CHRISTIAN For business travel, we experience many towns in the US. I always ask the question: What’s important about your community? In Sarasota, the overwhelming answer is “it’s the arts,” followed with “We have a great theatre company with Florida Studio Theatre”. We are

SEASON UNDERWRITERS-- in a comfortable and easily accessible way -- you know you’ve spotted a winner. We are proud to be season underwriters and hope that others will join us in supporting FST’s important work.

GULF COAST COMMUNITY FOUNDATION Together with our donors, Gulf Coast Community Foundation transforms our region through bold and proactive philanthropy. Gulf Coast is a public charity that was created in 1995 through the sale of the Venice Hospital. Since then, we have become the philanthropic home of more than 650 families who have established charitable funds here, and we have invested over $260 million in grants in the areas of health and human services, civic and economic development, education, arts and culture, and the environment. Learn more at GulfCoastCF.org.

ROBERT & BONNY ISRAELOFF Our favorite FST story happened while attending a performance for the first time, many years ago and saying, “This is theatre! Do they have a season subscription?!” FST is thought-provoking, Broadway worthy theatre. We believe FST is important because it enriches our community; it helps make Sarasota what it is. This is why we have proudly contributed to past expansions; especially the new Gompertz Theatre complex, to aid

FST’s mission in being even more accessible to the public.

ERNIE KRETZMER IN LOVING MEMORY OF ALISA KRETZMER I would describe FST as uncommonly, intimate theater that is well-articulated and succinct. FST is important to me because it is the perfect window to take in the American contemporary theatre scene. A favorite play was Golda’s Balcony; superbly acted. I continue to support FST’s five stages of engaging theatre.

DENNIS AND GRACI MCGILLICUDDY FST is important to us because we believe so strongly in the transformative power of the arts. For close to 30 years now, we have been so fortunate to experience first-hand how that transformative power works its magic in the hands of an organization that is not only experienced and dedicated, but so highly skilled in their craft. The values of the theater and its leadership, as reflected in its mission and as manifested in its work, whether it be on the mainstage, in the cabaret, in its education and community outreach programs: these are values that we so strongly believe in. As a consequence, it is a privilege for us to be a part of, and supportive of this great theatre.

ANNE H.S. NETHERCOTT When asked to define giving, Anne said: “My mother used to say the best way to find you is to lose

CO-PRODUCERSJIM BRUEN & JANE PLITT FST continues to produce theatre that inspires, entertains, and makes us think. We are delighted to help our community enjoy the richness of FST productions, starting with youth and WRITE A PLAY and concluding with these provocative plays.

SYDNEY & JEROME GOLDSTEIN FST is important to us because we have always enjoyed the theatre and it provides good, thought-provoking plays. Its productions are unique to our community. Our favorite show was Master Class in 1998 with Kate Alexander. We generally like the dramas, which makes us think and touches our emotions. FST has many facets, all of them worthwhile. It is our pleasure to support these efforts!

RUTH GORTON FST is truly a great regional theatre that professionally produces the work of the playwright, including children through its WRITE A PLAY program. It is a joy to see school children try their hands at playwriting and then to see their plays produced on the FST stage. It is equally exciting to see plays produced by contemporary artists and it is a thrill for me to sponsor these productions.

ALAN & LOIS SCHOTTENSTEIN We are proud to support FST, and are lucky to have such great theater in Sarasota. FST reaches out to the community and provides wonderful affordable productions at the Broadway level.

TOM WILSON & PATRICK CRIMMINGS Sarasota’s vibrant arts scene was a big factor in choosing to retire here. Prominent in that scene is FST and its five stages, offering a wide variety of theatre experiences at very affordable prices. And, the children’s WRITE A PLAY and

SEASON UNDERWRITERSyourself, by focusing on the needs of others rather than on oneself.” So giving has always been an important family value, which in childhood was reinforced by the community experience of surviving the Depression. Anne is proud to be a supporter of FST.

GAIL & SKIP SACK Florida Studio Theatre brings world class acting and phenomenal,

thought-provoking plays to Sarasota. We’re delighted to support FST in this mission.

DOROTHY WALDRON I support FST for its diversity of programming: Mainstage, Cabaret, Improv, WRITE A PLAY children’s program, summer camp, adult education classes, and the VIP program for special needs children. It is truly a wonderful community asset.
